Successful Enterprise.

Every man or woman who purchased stock
in the companies,who are selling the Wolf
skill Porter, Providencia, and other large
ranchos, will acknowledge that they never
made better or safer investments. The de-
mand for good land is so great that all large
ranchos that are bought at any reasonable
price, will certainly bring to the purchasers
an immense return on their investmest. The
same enterprising gentlemen who are so sue
cessfully managing the ranches above men,
toned, have been fortunate enough to secure
10000 acres of the best land in the famous
Lankershim Ranch in the San Fernando VAL
ley, only eight miles from Los Angeles.
The syndicate who purchased this fine
property, are about to form company to
own, and subdivide, and sell this 10000
acres. The first purchasers of stock will get
the land at sos per acre by subscribing for
the stock at 300 per share on very easy
terms.
The sale of stock will begin Tuesday. Au-

TRADE,
Los ANGELES, Cal, August 16.
Mr.. S. B. Lewis, President of
the Board of Trade, received to-day
the following letter from f. +. Cooper,
ESQ.,, of Dayton, o., to whom he wrote
asking for information regarding the
National Home for Disabled Volun-
teer Soldier, located at Dayton, o.:
DAYTON, o., August 8, 1887.
Mr.. S. b. LEWIS. Dear Sri send
YOU to-day by mail, viz. : one large
view of the different buildings, ETC.,
etc. and small book which gives IL
history of same, and which will prob
ably answer all your questions, as re-
CARDS farming, how many acres it con-
tains, walks, drives, flowers, etc.
There is no question but that it
brings a good deal of money into Day
ton, as there are always from one to
half a dozen excursions there every
day from all parts Of the country, and
generally when they see all of the
Home they come to Dayton. 1t is
very largely used for driving, etc., by
the citizens of Dayton.
The citizens of Los Angeles will GER
tainly make a great mistake, if they
don't put forth every effort to secure
its location at Los Angeles, as there
is no doubt but that it will be grand
thing for your city.
If you should want any further in
formation of any kind, don't hesitate
to call on me, as | shall be very happy
to do anything | can for you.
Very truly,
f. +. COOPER.

BOYLE HEIGHTS.
That Portion Of the City Growing
Very Rapidly.

A trip to Boyle Heights yesterday
disclosed the fact that building boom
is in progress in that part of the city,
especially in that portion just east of
Chicago avenue. When the visitor
reaches this point there are observable
on every side new buildings in the
course of construction, besides many
new ones that have recently been fin
ished. These additions to the Heights
may be considered as evidence that in
the course of short time the other
side OF the river will be to Los Angeles
proper what Brooklyn is to New York.
The elevation is such that magnif-
cent view of the city is obtained on
one side while on the other the noun
tains are visible. In consequence of
this elevation the air is more suitable
that in any portion of the city which
lies on a lower level. The
main drawback to this part
of town is the slowness of
the street cars. Although there are
two lines leading to the Heights,
travel, and their trips are so far apart
that large number of people prefer to
locate elsewhere rather than be obliged
to travel on these lines. This difficulty
does not apply alone to this part of the
city but to others, and for a city of the
size OF Los Angeles it seems strange
that the number of trips on all of the
street-car lines has not been increased.
The people of Boyle Heights are anx-
iously awaiting the advent of a cable
railway or an electric railway, or some
other means of reaching the city than
by the slow herse-cars, and there is no
doubt but all of the property-owners
would subscribe largely for the con-
struction of such road. They argue
that if that portion of town grows so
fast when the street-cars are the only
means of locomotion, it would go
ahead with such rapidity that it would
startle the community. There is no
reason why the Heights should not
grow rapidly, and it is anticipated that
the San Gabriel Valley Rapid Transit
Railroad, which will come into the
city this way, will give an impetus to
the growth of the Heights.

A NarrOW Escape.

A gentleman and lady had very
narrow escape from severe injury,
yesterday just before O'Clock, on
First street. They had started for a
ride behind horse which ought to be
killed, and were proceeding down
First street when the animal took the
bit between his teeth and started on
a run toward the river. Just as Santa
Fe avenue was reached a train of cars
pulled out, and the horse turned the
corner of Santa Fe avenue sharply.
The buggy overturned and the occu-
pants we're thrown out on the street.
The lady escaped uninjhred, but the
gentleman received u severe bruise on
his forehead. Their names were not
obtained for they returned home on
a passing street car.

Dennis Mcintyre Attempts to
Discmbowei a NeighbOr.
A quarrel took place yesterday af-
ternoon which might have resulted
more seriously. About two o'clock a
telephone communication was received
at the city prison stating that man
was abusing woman on Laurel street
in a shameful manner. Officer Ar
guello was sent to investigate the mat
ter, and in a short time he returned
having Dennis Mcintyre in custody.
He was booked upon a charge of dis
orderly conduct, and Immediately re-
leased upon furnishing small amount
of bail. He had no sooner departed
than man named q. II. Willis en-
tered, accompanied by his wife. Both
were as pale as ghosts, and Willis
stated that Mcintyre had stabbed him
with a pocket-knife, in proof of which
he exhibited an ugly cash on his left
side from which the blood flowed pro-
fusely. Arguello started out and
in a short time re-appeared with
Mcintyre. He was booked upon a
charge of assault with deadly
weapon. Mrs. Willis volunteered to
explain the cause of the difficulty,
which she did as follows: "Two weeks
ago McIntyre's daughter Mamie came
to our house in the middle of the
night and woke us up. She said that
her father had beateh and abused her,
and that she was afraid to remain
home. | gave her bed. The next
morning she had breakfast and left,
and have not seen her since. This
afternoon her father walked past our
house and applied a string of vile
oaths to me. My husband went out
to get him to leave, and was stabbed
by him. Mrs. Willis statement was
corroborated by number of people
who saw the difficulty.

No such provision is contained in
our statutes, and is contrary to the
course of decisions since the issuance
of the Regulations for preventing
Collisions at Sea-" of 1868, which were
adopted in this Kingdom and after
wards modified in accordance with the
amended Regulations
The case of the Martha Elizabeth
was decided in the o. S. District Court,
District of California, and although
the head note in the report Il Sawyer
1921 tends to show that the decision
was solely on the ground that "Lights
required By lao must be displayed" Yet
the learned Judge Hoffman who heard
the case, admitted testimony to show
that the collision was caused, by the
gross fault and mismsnagement of
the colliding vessel, and held that the
evidence negatived such allegation.
There can be no doubt as to the rule
observed in the whole course of the
decisions of Courts of Admiralty that
where the neglect of the vessel to obey
the statutory rules as to carrying
lights, or of navigation, has contrib
uted to a collision the vessel in default
is held responsible to the extent OF
one half, or the whole of the damages
as the case may be, and the authori-
ties cited on behalf of the appellant
maintain this view.
As to the contention on behalf Of
the appellant that the "Moiwahine"
executed wrong maneuvre immedi
ately before the collision, we agree
with the opinion of the Court below,
that such maneuvre was justifable
under the circumstances, and indeed
prevented greater damage than would
have been sustained had she continued
on her course. 1t was made when the
collision was inevitable through the
default of the steamer.
Although there is authority to sup
port the contention of correspondents
that even supposing the "Moiwahine''
did not exhibit any lights, yet if the
'Dowsett" could have avoided the
collision she would be responsible (see
in addition to the authorities quoted
by respondents: The Englishman,
L. r. 8, P. d. Is. The Chusan 50 L.
I. r. n. S. 60) and such is the view
taken by Mr.. Justice Fernandez. We
do not decide this case on that ground.
We adopt the reasoning of the Court
below and find
l. That the 'Moiwahine" exhibited
the proper lights.
2: That the navigation of the Moi
wahine" was proper under the circum-
stances and did not contribute to the
collision, which had become newt
able.
8. That the collision was caused by
the "Dowsett" neglecting to keep a
proper lookout, and therefore she was
solely to blame.
The decree of the Chief Justice is
therefore affirmed with costs.

opinion.
This action is demurred to on-the
ground that although it is entitled
'assumpsit," by the form of the declar-
alton, plaintiff complains of defend
ants sin a plea of trespass on the case
upon promises"
After having reviewed all the au-
thorities presented, to wit:
Stephen on Pleading, PIP. II, Is
and 40.
Kerr's Action at Law, PIP. 119, 120.
1 Chitty Pl. p. 80,
am of opinion that it is not conso-
nant with the dern rules of plead
ing to designate an action which is er
contracts as 'case" although anciently
assumpsit was trespass on the case
upon promises. Cease" is suited to
torts or actions er delictu.
But although the complaint styles
this action ''trespass on the case upon
promises" from what follows it is, to
my mind, an ordinary declaration in
express assumpsit upon promissory
note. The making of the note and
the promise to pari is aid in apt words,
and copy OF TIE note is annexed to
the declaration and made part thereof.
The adj damnum is laid at 81, 200. The
note is for $750.21 and interest at 10
per cent. per annum, and the princi
pal and interest since Sept. Is, 1888,
when the note was made would nearly
come up to the ad damnum. The
amount of the ad damanuna laid cannot
affect the case, provided only that the
plaintiff can recover no more than he
asks for, and he cannot recover in
this case, except for principal and in
terest and costs.
l do not think the declaration is
demurrable on the ground stated. The
Objectionable phrase which names the
action may be treated as sruplusage.
I therefore overrule the demurrer
with costs. Defendants may answer
over in four days, and the answer
must conform to the statute of 1876

Opinion of M. Justice F0RNANDER.

Having heard the evidence and the
arguments of counsel, l am painfully
affected by the positive and diametri-
cally opposed character of the evidence
of the two ships crews, that of the
81. I. Dowsett" and that of the Moi
wahine," as to the fact whether the
"Moiwahine" carried proper and legal
lights previous to the collision.
That seven or eight men, from the
master down. on one side or the other,
should have wilfully and maliciously
perjured themselves, is hard to be-
lieve, and, though the evidence fur
nishes no clue to the Discrepancy, /
am willing to believe that each side
honestly thinks itself right.
Such being the case the two sets OF
evidence, as to whether the "Moiwa-
hine" was properly lighted or not,
neutralize each other: and, were it
the only fact bearing upon the coils
ion and its cause, judgment would
have to go against the "Dowsett" as
not being sufficiently proven.
But, fortunately, there is one ma
terial fact to which the crews of both
vessels agree without variation. Itis
this: They say that though the night
was dark, yet it was starry night
1t might have been hazy under the
land, bnt in mid channel, where they
were it was not hay. That fact and
its consequences does not seem to me
to have been sufficiently elucidated on
the trial; but what that fact implies ]
will now endeavor to state. A DARK
but starry night implies tho ability Of
seeing a very considerable distance
ahead of the vessel on which you are
I have followed the sea professionally
in my younger days-for sixteen
years, from foremost hand to master
mariner, and I think l am greatly
within the mark when | say that on {
dark (moonless) but starry night {
vessel of the size of the ''Moiwahine'
under all sail, maiusail, foresail anG
iib, standing across the course of an
other vessel, ought to have been dis
tinctly visible at least half mile off
That the 'Moiwahine" was not seer
at that distance from the deck of the
''Dowsett" in fact was not seen at al
until the time of the collision, is tC
me abundant evidence that the watch
or lookout of the "Dowsett" was either
asleep. absent, or culpably lax in theil
duty.
Had they seen the ''Moiwhine" al
they ought to have done. on "a darl
but starry night" there would have
been ample time to inform the Officer
of the deck or the captain and to adopt
such maneuvres as would have avoided
collision.
Our statutes are positive that steam
ers must give way to sailing vessels
and they have no proviso that if suct
sailing vessels do not carry proper
lights, that fact makes the steamer
excusable in case of collision.
Light or no light, the "Moiwhine,
under all sails on a dark but starry
night should have been seen by tht
''Dowsett" as an object to be avoided
I therefore concur with the Chic
Justice in dismissing the suit of the
"Dowsett" and awarding the damages
he does to the "Moiwahine.
